The challenges of trunk-based development in the Salesforce space.

Trunk-based development is not easily implemented in the Salesforce space due to various challenges. One major challenge is the difficulty in managing metadata, as some elements are referenced by ID and others by name. This poses issues in terms of deprecating, renaming, or deleting metadata. Another challenge is the complexity of keeping environments in sync, especially when there are integrations with other systems. Additionally, the inability to have isolated sandboxes for development and testing can lead to breaking changes and conflicts among developers. Addressing these challenges requires careful planning, the use of tools, and manual interventions to ensure safe and effective deployments. While Salesforce's DevOps Center seeks to address some of these issues, it is still a work in progress and may not fully meet all requirements.
